It should have stopped right after the revolution. It's not politics, but a way of disagreement with the monarchy. Since there is no more monarchy, the whole "left" concept is useless.
The Jacobin left from the French revolution became the template for leftism since, which is why the term has at least some use. Maybe a better word will emerge which will make it easier to convey what they are, and therefore easier to defeat them. I get your dissatisfaction with the term.
There are three fundamental facts about the left which ought to be widely known:
1) They are delusional. They may be tactically astute, which really boils down to having an instinctive ability to manipulate, and a cynical willingness to do what normal people find morally abhorrent, but fundamentally, they have no understanding of reality.
2) They have no moral restraint. They want to destroy the world, not live in it.
3) Their ideas don't work. Everything they do makes existence shittier. Every time they held power, it has been a disaster. Leftism is shit.
